Festus, one of the staff members, was the best part of my stay here! He was super helpful with lots of suggestions of things to do and fair prices to expect for them, very welcoming and made me feel at home. The pool is refreshing during the super hot days as well. Very quiet place considering the fact that you're in Old Town which can be hectic at times.

Lovely property that combines the traditional Swahili design features with properly proportioned comfort, such as upholstered armchairs, and luxury linens. Stunning view from the top floor which is accessible to all. Great breakfast. Slept very soundly here.

The room I got at janataan was sub par and I cancelled the booking but I was transferred to Shela White House Near the beach hassle free
The mango juice was awesome
The service guy Safari/ safiri was ready to help plus the tall guy (name has slipped my mind) that helped with the bags when we got to Shela
I had left the water bottle and the ensured it was delivered to the airport 🙂

The place is amazing good, and I was satisfied with everything from the customer service-reception. The sea view from the balcony was amazing beautiful.

I liked that Lamu is a small town, easy to walk about and no pollution say for donkey dung.
There are many eateries with all kinds of meals, loved the seafood restaurants near the jetty.
Lamu is safe for travellers and the community is very welcoming.
Easy to get around either by speed boat, dhow or slow engine boats if not in a rush.
The weather is warm and windy especially in the evening. People prefer to walk about and sit around the seafront at night where there is good ocean breeze before retiring for bed.
Fishing is a great recreation activity which we all enjoyed while in Lamu.

Lamu is a small conservative town rich in culture with very friendly people. I like that most restaurants are at the beachfront and I can recommend a few with what they offer:
1. Forodhani Lamu- for local cuisine like pilau, biriyani etc. It was the most affordable.
2. Sailors Joint- for shawarma, pizza and sea food. I went here almost everyday for their shawarma, so so flavorful.
3. Bush Gardens Sea food restaurant- for seafood especially. Had the best fresh mango juice.
4. Rangarelli Cafe- in Shela has the best local food there
5. Gelamu- for gelato ice-cream, this is in Shela.

We were looking for privacy and relaxation as well as some outings to get to know Lamu better so our location on Manda island with private boat service to anywhere was ideal
Some recommendable eating places included peponi and kijani hotels in Shela, garden restaurant on Lamu sea front
We also enjoyed Lamu museum and the Flip-floppy enterprise for recycling all kinds of waste plastics

Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history.
Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history. The people are very friendly and welcoming. For instance - the town can be like a labyrinth, which makes it a bit challenging sometimes to find spots - even with Google Maps. Either people ask you if you need help or you can ask them and they show you the way - many of them even walked us to the location. This experience was so wonderful - I would definitely come back again.

Great, quaint town.
Great, quaint town. The scent of the donkey excrement is off-putting but seeing them is sublime. Being a coastal town, there are many ‘captains’. I had my transport pre-organized with my accommodation so be weary of that and potential scams, as well as the impromptu tour guides. Touch water, take a sunset sail boat ride, and visit the beach, maybe even Shela. Locals were very nice and friendly, warm welcomes. Affordable restaurants as well, Sailor’s Joint for example. I stayed at Subira House.

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Lamu
the owner was always attentive to help us before arrival, with relevant communications and was waiting for us at the port to get to his accommodation. He was always attentive to solve our needs and to show us how to open and close the padlock or the entrance door. Very attentive and cordial.
It is worth mentioning that it is the cheapest accommodation available there. It is suitable for true travelers with few resources. For 6 euros per night you can't expect more comfort.
It is right in the middle of Lamu old town so you are very much immeresed in it. Arnold will give you all the information you need and the best of guides in town. Do not miss the tour of Lamu! It was great! Breakfast is wonderful and I loved the rooftop
Great team, beautiful building and surroundings, close to Shela beach and the village, quiet, good breakfast, yoga classes every day, great spa. Team was easy to communicate with for airport pickup etc.
